is your Property bought under the HDA.
If the answer is Yes, then the defect liability period is 18-mths and u can give notice of defects anytime during this 18-mths
So the Developer is BS you - but advice not to start any renovation until all major defects have been fixed
Please give name of Project / Developer

Xianmantoa...please elaborate what type of property you bought. You offered very little info on your new home.
if its SOVO/SOFO...its an entirely different story. No tnb n water supply yet before key collection? I worried for you.

I worried for you. under HDA guidelines, developer is allow for VP eventhough water meter or tnb meter were not installed. Its under clause "when the connection is ready for utility services" Nothing to worry about. Only under perform developer taking such advantages.

I dun know if legally developers are responsible for defects if the house has been changed hand...

The architect integrity will put on stake too.

if its a new house, you have 2 years to file defects.
you need to mark every single defect lioa.....
looks like you wont be able to move in until the major defects are rectified. Summore you need to apply for TNB to have power channeled in. you cant do reno also....
honestly this is different btw buying from reputable developers vs non reputable developers.

The way u say, it does not look like a HDA property cos one of conditions for VP with CCC is with water and electricity ready for connection.
